Numbness, tingling, burning, or weakness in your hands or feet can be frustrating and hard to ignore, especially when you don't know what is causing it. These are common signs of neuropathy, a condition affecting the nerves that carry signals between your body and your brain.

Our neurologists provide thorough evaluation and care for neuropathy, working to identify the underlying cause and build a plan to help you feel more like yourself again.

Understanding Neuropathy

Neuropathy refers to damage or dysfunction in the peripheral nerves, the ones that run throughout your body outside the brain and spinal cord. When these nerves are not working properly, they can send faulty signals, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.

There are many possible causes, from diabetes to injury to other medical conditions, and sometimes the cause is not immediately clear. That is why a careful evaluation matters: identifying what is behind your symptoms is the first step toward treating them effectively.

Common Symptoms

Neuropathy can feel different from person to person. People we see often describe:

Numbness in the hands or feet
Tingling or prickling
Burning or sharp pain
Muscle weakness
Sensitivity to touch
Balance or coordination trouble

If any of these feel familiar, an evaluation can help you understand what is going on.

How We Diagnose

Evaluation
A thorough review of your history and symptoms, along with a neurological exam by a neurologist.
EMG & Nerve Studies
Electromyography and nerve conduction studies measure how well your nerves and muscles are working.
Additional Testing
When helpful, lab work and other testing help identify the underlying cause.

Pinpointing the cause is what allows us to build treatment around your specific situation rather than your symptoms alone.

Our Approach to Treatment

Treatment for neuropathy works best when it addresses both the underlying cause and the symptoms affecting your daily life. Depending on your diagnosis, your plan may include managing a related condition, medication to ease nerve pain, and ongoing monitoring.

We work with you over time, checking your progress and adjusting as needed. Because we bring neurology, psychiatry, and therapy together under one practice, we can also support related concerns when your needs call for it.
